est coal on the market
The Rock Springs coal that they are

eign coals, and is being sold at a price
, that Is making the importers of foreign
coals alt up and take notice.
Mr. A. G. Riddle, manager of the Lib-
arty Coal A Ice company, says that ho
would rather Sell a ton of good coal than
the cheap coal, for the reason that It
Is by far cheaper in the end for the cus
tomer. It lasts longer, burns better and
Is cleaner to handle. But If tha pub
lie Insists on cheap coal, we will sup
ply them at a price that we challenge

car Huber, consulting snglnear of the
company, appeared bafor tha commit

investigation or conditions warrant'
Ing the construction of a municipal
lighting plant were gone Into by the
committee, but on reports made by
uity ,nsineer Taylor the member de
elded that the city would be unable to
secure such a plant In less than three
years and that probably five would
elapse before It could be erected. When
this was determined the committee de
cided that the beat thing to be done
would be to recommend that bids be ad
vertised for and If they were reason
able to accept the lowest.
uaa llKhtlnar was tabooed by the com
mitteemen as being antiquated and go
ing backward rather than taking a pro
gressive step. This waa dona despite
tne ract that many cities in the country
have found that gaa lighting gives as
good results for less money than elec
tric lighting.
Besides the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company, the only other com-
Fiany that could handle the street llght
ng of the city la the Mount Hood Rail
way Power company. C. W. Miller,
manager of the latter company, was be
fore the committee yesterday and said
that his company would not consider the
proposition of lighting the city under
less than a five-year contract.
Miller referred to the difference ex
isting between his company and the
water board and harshly criticised the
action of the board and Mayor Lane,
which he declared had been hostile to
the work of his company and by their ac
tion had held up the progress of the
company about four months

Nothing is more curious, nothing
more Inexplicable, than the attraction
that "Camilla" undoubtedly possesses
for women. If Madame Bernhardt plays
It at the Helllg, Portland Heights and
Nob Hill are emptied of the female part j
of their population. If Verna Felton I
plays it at the Lyric their sisters under !
ine skin nock rrom other parts of the
city. Of the two performances per-
haps the latter Is the more desirable,
because Mr. Allen has thoughtfully pro
vided some very lively and cheering
moving pictures between acts. One c,an .
Bee the curtain go down on the pros
trate Dame aux Camel las, leaving her
to sob her heart out, and Immediately
be refreshed by the sight of some of 1
the most lively and, it must be admit-
ted, entertaining moving pictures we've '
seen for a long time.
It Is said that Miss Felton Is the
youngest actress who has ever played 1
Camllle professionally. And she Is far
from being the worst Her verv voiith 1
makes her natural at times. Miss Fel- f
ton has imagination and orobablv can
conceive that Camllle was wretchedly 1
unhappy at times. Therefore she too !
wretchedly unhartDV and does srood
work in suoh moments. Durlnir and
immediately after her final scene of
anger with Ormonde she was auite fine.
But so far as comprehending the subtler
parts ol the unpleasant character Is
concerned. Miss Felton can no more do
it than could any other girl of 17. It
was with a right lusty voice ITiat the
young woman talked away the last
hour of her life In the old garret cham
ber. It was the voice of youth and
neai(ti in spite or that cough which
made one woman exclaim : "My, but
sne s got a bad cold, hasn t she!"
But youth and health are not to be
scorned by any means they are a very
good foundation for Miss Felton's abil
ity and ambition to build upon. And
then, seeing as you must go and see
(jamllle and have a good sentimental
time of it, by all means see It at the
Lyrlc, where the moving pictures, as
we have said, will remind you that there
is me ana action in tne world.
